THE REALITIES OF BEING AN ENTREPRENEUR.

 "An entrepreneur is somebody that takes risk to start a business by sacrificing their salary to make money on their own and create jobs."Although they may be confident in their decision to forge his or her own, uncharted path to successful business ownership, prosperity is not guaranteed. The risks, roadblocks, and psychological challenges involved are enough to deter even the most confident entrepreneur with the best product offering.

I just smile when people say things like "You're so lucky," or I know you are making so much money." or "big girl" "celebrity" when talking about my brands.Because mehn,this thing is not easy.It isn't but I rather do it anyways.

That's why I wanted to share the realities of being an entrepreneur. Being an entrepreneur isn't the easy, carefree career path that many believe it to be; it's actually quite the opposite. When everything is invested in your own business--time, money, passion and creativity--it can be crazy.
 It's stressful. If you think meeting a boss's demands is tough, try meeting your own, especially when the allowance you are managing is on the line.This type of pressure lights a fire under even the most chill person. Not only will you feel the pressure to get your business off the ground, but you'll also feel the added pressure to do so quickly to regain some profit.
Yeah,we all say we wanna do what we love and it's not about the money. Me,I want to do what I love and make money while doing it.
As an entrepreneur, the workload can be intense, especially during the early stages when you are the CEO,HR person, sales staff, marketing guru, tech guy and manager.With all these roles, there's rarely a moment that you feel your work is "done" for the day. There's always something more you could be doing, like researching new markets, contacting new media, developing new products and the list goes on.
It's frustrating.From personal experience,receiving a batch of low quality shirts that was supposed to be a new collection. Couldn't launch it because i didn't like them.Or when i can't stay calm until a customer receives his or her order. Or when they are complaints.As an entrepreneur, these types of situations happen on a regular basis. (I speak from experience).
So with this kind of stress, pressure and workload, why, then, would anyone subject themselves to being an entrepreneur? The answer is simple: the positives outweigh the negatives.
 It's rewarding. When you're successful, you reap both financial and emotional rewards. There's no better feeling than seeing a product you've worked hard to develop on people or when someone's says "see!that person is wearing SBH" or when you've provided successful service for a grateful client. It's exciting to make a sale or win a new client when you know it's from your own hard work; it's gratifying when customers tell you that your product, service is appreciated. And of course, turning a profit and knowing your business is financially stable are extremely rewarding as well. But quick truth: If you are just starting out,your loss with outweigh your profit.
 It's flexible. Once you work for yourself, it's common to feel you could never work in a conventional 9-to-5 environment again. I believe it's mostly due to the flexibility. Yes, you may work more hours, but you can do so on your own terms.When you're the boss, you call the shots, and the new freedom can be great.

 It's the chance to create. Many entrepreneurs are driven by the need to build something great, help other people, or leave something behind.No matter what the motivation, creating something from nothing that grows and develops through the years can be almost like raising a child; it's your baby, and you've nurtured it to its current level of success. That type of fulfillment is difficult to duplicate in most other career paths.


No one said building a company is easy. But there are a few reasons--once you're ready--that you should do it anyway.
 Lackey says. "Success is on you. Results are on you. Making the call, doing the things you don't like to do, on you."
Of course it's not easy to take an idea and turn it into a reality. Particularly one that not only creates jobs, but also pays the bills and makes a positive impact on the world. The reality of the situation is that being an entrepreneur will test you in ways you didn't think possible--but once you're ready, pursue it anyway.
